COThe German police confirmed that they shot dead the suspect responsible for intentionally running over 30 people near the Pride parade in Berlin, an attack that resulted in one death and 29 injuries. The incident occurred on Saturday evening when a white Citroën van struck multiple individuals in the southern part of Tiergarten Park before crashing into a tree. Authorities identified the suspect as Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen of Lebanese origin, who had previously attempted to join the Islamic State group in Syria but was detained in Lebanon before succeeding. He was later convicted in Germany in 2026 for planning a serious act of subversive violence. Police stated that the suspect ran toward them with a weapon, prompting officers to open fire, resulting in his death at the scene. The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, assured that none of the injured were in critical condition.
